Johnny Carson 1925-2005

One of my earliest memories is that of sitting up late at night with my grandfather, who I adored, watching Johnny Carson on "The Tonight Show". My mum and dad never let me stay up that late, but my grandfather did. I remember not really understanding the jokes, but I laughed because my Pa Kip did. As I got older, I started to laugh because I thought he was funny, but he always made me think of fond childhood memories.

Johnny hadn't been on the television for many years, but I'm sad to hear of his passing. It makes me feel a little older as well.
